I’m a writer working on my first novel. I live with my husband in California, where we enjoy the sunshine, running, and time with our dog, Drew. Originally from Oregon, I studied literature and writing at Oregon State University, and then worked in publishing for a few years. In 2006 I quit my day job–against the usual advice–in order to pursue my writing dream. I finished my first novel, At the End of Silence, and I’m currently polishing the final draft.
